Richmond negroes hegan their pro- " gram of celebration of freedom Thursday night at Bethel A. Jtf. E. church. A "large audience listened to the speakers. The meeting was patriotic. ' Everywhere the American flag mingled with the colors of the European Allies was t on display. The celebration was under the auspices of the negro Boy Scouts who are doing splendid work with Walter H. Dennis, as Scout Master. Mr. Dennis served -as Master of Ceremonies. The meeting started when two Boy Scouts to the strains of Star Spangled Banner, marched into the audience following Elmer Clapp who carried a large American" flag. Miss Rebbecca Rowe read the Emancipation Proclamation. Carl Doty received applause for the splendid manner in which he delivered Lincoln's Gettysburg address. Mrs. Alice Crosby, accompanied by her little daughter, Naomi, sang a patriotic song. .. After the audience had sung America, Attorney Cornelius R. Richardson, a local attorney, was introduced. In part Mr. Richardson said: "It is most fitting that we, the people and the heirs of the people who were the direct beneficiaries of the magnificent statesmanship of Abraham Lincoln, should gather here in Richmond this magnificent city of the middle west, rich in Its cultural environments and pecualiarly rich in its historical endowment, particularly for us, the Afro-American. - "It i3 altogether fitting that here in Richmond, the famous depot of the
underground Railroad which in the
early Abolition days led so many men of slavery into the green fields of freedom." '"The speaker paid glowing tribute to s the eplendid service rendered the colored people by their white friends of this community. While urging his hearers to keep abreast the spirit of civic and national pride, he eulogized the work of the late Bishop Paul Qulnn, Rev. James X, Townsend and the famous poet Paul Lawrence Dunbar, all of whom were negroes of national reputation and whom at one time were proud to call Richmond
By way of conclusion Mr, Richardson declared the negro must do his full duty in the present war a3 he.has done in all wars in which this country has been engaged. He urged them to have race pride,, be self-respecting, organize and support business' institutions of their own. ,
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 21. In an article in the current issue of the Saturday Evening Post, Dr. W. W, Keen, emeritus professor of surgery of the Jefferson Medical College of this city, reveals? for the first time the facts connected with the surgical operation performed on President Cleveland on July 1, 1893. It will be recalled that the publication of rumors of such an operation led to animated controversy and to official denial from Washington. The operation was performed only a few days . before congress met in special session to hear Mr. Cleveland's message urging the. repeal of the Sherman Act, and Dr. Keen explains that the" reticence regarding Mr. Cleveland's condition was due to the gravity of the financial situation and the belief that it would affect his plans respecting the repeal of this measure. The operation - was performed on board the Yacht Oneida, belonging to Commodore E. C. Benedict. ' Dr. Keen thus describes its extent: Entire Jaw Removed. "The entire left jaw was removed from the first bicuspid tooth to just beyond the last molar, and nearly up to the middle. The floor of the orbit the cavity containing the eyeball was not removed, as it had not yet been attacked. A small portion of the soft
palate was removed." It was on Sunday, June 18, of that year that Dr. R. M. O'Reily, later surgeon general of the United States army examined a rough place in Mr.

Cleveland's mouth. An ulcer was discovered and the pathologist of the army medical museum in 1 Washington reported after examination that it was strangely indicative of malignancy. The operation was performed by Dr. Joseph D. Bryant of New York, assisted by Dr. Keen, Dr. E. G. Janeway of New York, Dr. O'Reilly. Dr. John F. Erdmann, and Dr. Ferdinand Hasbrouck, dentist, was also present as an assistant. The operation was done entirely from the inside so no telltale scar was left and later the president was fitted with a rubber jaw plate which enabled him to retain his accustomed voice and pronunciation. Some weeks later a second operation
was performed to remove additional' tissue that was. believed to be infected !
Mr. Cleveland died after the operation.

LONDON, Sept. 21. This morning's newspapers herald the new British offensive in Flanders as the entente allies answer to Germany's latest peace maneuvers. The Chronicle declares that the allies have nothing more to say and adds: "Wars waged for the great object cannot win by words but or.ly by strong right arms." The Graphic asserts: "Again the
guns are speaking. Into our delusions about an early peace entertained by the .peoples of enemy empires, comes the British comander-in-chief's characteristic announcement: 'We attacked at 5:40 o'clock this morning on a wide front'." The Daily Mail declares the answer to the latest German effort to divide the entente allies by pretending that Great Britain made the peace proposal and that Germany wag ready to evacute. Belgium is supplied by Sir Douglas Haig. The newspaper adds: "Meanwhile, it is the first duty of the British government to take far more energetic measures than it has applied heretofore to curb the treacher

LONDON, Sept. 21. An exhibition of paintings by the Russian battleartist, Vasili Verestchagin, called in Russia the "apostle of peace," is to be one of the features of the winter season in London art circles. Verestchagin, after fighting with the Russian armies in three short but bitter minor wars, was killed in the explosion that destroyed theTUissian flagship Petropavlocsk outside Port Arthur in 1904. His paintings are de-
scntiea as at once a grisly revelation and a vehement protest." His most famous canvas is entitled "Apotheosis of War." It depicts- a huge pyramid of skulls crowned with a flock of carrion crows, and bears tha sinister inscription, "To all conquerors, past, present and to come." On the occasion of an exhibition of his work in Berlin some years ago the German Emperor would not allow the Prussian Guard to visit it, "lest they "should come to regard war as not honorable but disgusting."
